Free webinar with Anasatasia Goodstein
One topic I tend to speak on quite a bit is the internet safety/digital citizenship issue. Yes, we need to keep students safe from predators, but we also need to prepare them to be successful, both as human beings and in their future careers. In order to know how to guide students along the right path, we really do need to have a comprehensive, in depth understanding of what they’re currently doing online right now.
Enter Anastasia Goodstein. She’s an author, online at the yPulse blog, and offline of the book Totally Wired: What Teens and Tweens are Really Doing Online. I have to admit, when I first grabbed a copy of the book, I was half expecting to be disappointed. There are so many adults that claim to be tapped into the younger generations, but just wind up spouting the same cliches. I was pleasantly surprised by Anastasia’s perspective, her insights and the depth of her research when it came to getting into the minds of today’s teens. After speaking on a panel with her at the Office 2.0 conference, I knew she was a speaker that we had to bring into our EdTechConnect series of webinars.
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, at 6pm CST Anastasia will be presenting a free webinar for educators that you won’t want to miss. She’s been featured in print, on the news, and has presented at conferences around the country. Tell your colleagues too, it promises to be a fantastic presentation!
